You do have a choice. The Good thing about Xarelto is that you do not need lab tests to check your PT/INR (clotting time) every so often. The bad is that it is true—it is not reversable. The hospital can give you FFP and Platelets to reverse the bleeding in emergency situations. The other choice is Coumadin (warfin). It has been around for years and works but you nust limit your vitaminK intake and also not eat any green leafy veggies (they have Vit K). You also need to have blood tests every so often. Your choice really. I work as an RN in a Major University Medical Center in the Radiology Department where we do angiograms and routinely see folks on both. IMHO it’s a crap shoot either way. Best thing is to get your AFIB fixed asap. The longer you wait the harder it is to stop. See a Cardiologist!!!!!!
C a crdio who is an electrophysiologist. Trust me, after 10 years of dealing with the run of the mill cardio is NOT trained to deal with afib or flutter or any of the multitue of possible arrhythmias.
